Early to mid 20th century.
The bone comes from Tibet but the prayer bead was made in and for people of the Middle East, a small example of how we are all connected. Jewels has had this bead for 30 years and decided only now to put it back out into this mysterious world. The hand woven cord is the fine work of Fedua in our Marrakech atelier.

A note about our woven cords. We weave these by hand, every one of them. Like all Jewels’ work no two are exact, as each of us. The work is labor intensive. When warmed to the skin the cord becomes more supple, conforms to the wearer, hangs at it should; the necklace transforms more than just a necklace. It becomes her or him.
